Target data

Function

Growth factor active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis and endothelial cell growth, stimulating their proliferation and migration and also has effects on the permeability of blood vessels. May function in the formation of the venous and lymphatic vascular systems during embryogenesis, and also in the maintenance of differentiated lymphatic endothelium in adults. Binds and activates VEGFR-2 (KDR/FLK1) and VEGFR-3 (FLT4) receptors.

Activity summary

VEGFD also known as vascular endothelial growth factor D plays a role in angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis by interacting with VEGF receptors. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 32 kDa. It is typically expressed in the lungs heart skeletal muscle and small intestine. VEGFD undergoes several proteolytic processes to gain full activity highlighting its functional complexity in the body.

Biological function summary

Vascular endothelial growth factor D promotes the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells facilitating vascular formation and remodeling. It forms part of the VEGF protein family which is known for its involvement in various vascular processes. The protein's action is largely mediated through its binding to VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3. This binding activates downstream signaling pathways that contribute to the growth and maintenance of blood and lymphatic vessels.

Pathways

The functioning of VEGFD is important in the vascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. These pathways are essential for the regulation of cellular processes such as survival growth and motility of endothelial cells. VEGFD is closely related to other members of the VEGF family including VEGFA and VEGFC which similarly interact with VEGF receptors to regulate vascular development and function.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal levels or activity of VEGFD can lead to pathological conditions such as cancer and lymphedema. In several cancers VEGFD is implicated in tumor angiogenesis aiding the tumor in acquiring nutrients and oxygen. Furthermore in lymphedema issues related to lymphatic vessel development can involve VEGFD alongside VEGFC contributing to fluid retention and tissue swelling. These associations highlight the importance of understanding VEGFD's functions in various pathological contexts.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-VEGFD antibody [EPR8457] (ab252051)

    IHC image of VEGFD staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human kidney*.

    The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer (pH9, epitope retrieval solution 2) in a BOND RX autostainer for 20 minutes. Slides were removed from the BOND RX and all following steps were performed manually. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab252051 at 1/2500 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labeled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.
